Having amazing memories and being able to look back on all of them with my friends:)
Being able to listen to music.it's my escape.
Knowing that my brother will always be there for me no matter what the situation.
Feeling the intensity of the crowd and the adrenaline rush through my veins at Iowa Football games.
Knowing that i'll always have my best friend through the good times and the bad.
Being able to sit down with my mom and tell her everything without fear of judgement.
The butterflies I get when he tells me everything is going to be okay.
The smell of Black Ice when I open my car door.
All the trips to Walnut with Shay. Blasting Music until we're almost deaf, laughing until we hyperventilate, and all the serious conversations that almost bring us to tears.
Looking back at all the memories with Logan. The road trips to Walnut and Lewis, our laughs and inside jokes, and the serious conversations that helped me get through so many hard times. R.I.P<3.

24 hours have passed and here i am still wondering what I'm going to do this summer. It's coming up faster than I could have ever imagined, and as the days come and go I begin to wonder; should I go live with my dad in Fort Dodge and go to Iowa Central? Or should I move with my mom to Des Moines and go to DMACC in Ankeny? My relationship with my dad has always been a little shakey, to say the least. When I was little I was always daddy's little girl. When he'd come home every other weekend i'd get excited a few days before. Then when I saw him start walking up the stairs I would jump into his arms. As I got older something changed. I stopped running up to him, and I kept dreading the weekends he would come home. I've never been able to understand why or even when things went south but they did, and in a hurry. My parents started fighting all the time when he was home and before I knew it they were getting a divorce. Sure they split up a few times when I was a little kid so I just assumed that they would eventually end up getting back together like always. But after this last time I knew things weren't going to be the same. It's been about a year since this happened and now they are officially divorced. Things have changed a lot also. I've been fighting with my mom more, which hurts more and more everytime it happens. We used to be extremely close and would tell each other everything. The past couple days have gotten better, and we've been talking to each other a lot more than we used to. But things with my dad haven't changed. We still rarely talk and i feel like he doesn't care if he pushes me away. I want to move to Fort Dodge to get closer to my dad, but i also feel guilty for even considering leaving my mom. Being an only child makes things a million times more difficult.

As that final day starts coming faster
Seniors see how much time they've put in
they see how many subjects they have mastered
as they wait for their new lives to begin
Graduation is something people fear
it's a part of life we all have to do
but as that final day starts to come near
you will know everyone else is scared too
as the music plays and the seats are filled
you take a look at your class in the gym
and you know all their lives will start to build
you think your life without them will be grim
when the ceremony starts to begin
just remember where you have always been.
Short Story.
Once upon a time there lived a girl named Jill who was friends with everyone in her town. Jill was the model student. She always did her homework and was home before her curfew. Her parents never had a problem with her and her friends all counted on her to be there when they needed her.
One day, everything changed, and Jill decided that telling lies was cool. She lied to everyone. Her friends, family, and even her pastor. She decided to lie to her parents and told them she was staying at a friends house when she really went camping with a bunch of her friends.
After lying to her friends all night about every little thing, and even telling this boy that she didn’t have a boyfriend when she really did, Jill decided to leave everyone back at the camp and go swimming by herself. The water was cold, the sky was dark, and everything was quiet. That’s when everything started going wrong for Jill. She went out too deep, and was too tired to swim back in. At that time, Jill started screaming for her friends to help her.
Her friends all thought that Jill was playing a joke on them like she always does, so they ignored her and laughed. Jill then began to struggle deep in the water, and started screaming louder. Aftet awhile her friends decided that they should probably go see what’s going on. After walking down to the beach her friends finally realized that Jill, did indeed, need help. A few of her friends swam out to get her and pulled her back to shore. Jill then apologized for lying over the past few weeks and promised she’d never tell another lie again. As punishment for lying to all of her friends, they made her call her parents and tell them everything. Jill was then grounded by her parents for telling so many lies to everyone, but at the same time she was relieved that everyone forgave her in the end.
After everything that happened with Jill, her friends, and her fmaily, Jill was back to the normal her, being a good student, good daughter, and a good friend. Jill learned her lesson and never told another lie again.
